EDITORS COMMENTS
This character sketch, titled "Character Sketch," is a beautiful example of 18th century British art, created by the renowned artist John Hamilton Mortimer. The monochrome print, executed in pen and gray ink with brush and wash on cream laid paper laid down on card, showcases the intricacies of Mortimer's artistic skill. The subject of the sketch is a man, dressed in the fashionable clothing of the era. His grotesque hat, with its exaggerated shape and ornate design, adds a sense of whimsy and character to the piece. The man's clothing, with its rich colors and textures, is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the time. Mortimer's use of pen and ink, combined with the delicate wash, creates a stunning contrast between the bold lines and the subtle shading. The sepia tones add a sense of warmth and depth to the image, further enhancing its visual appeal. The sketch is a window into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and refinement in England. This artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, or the 18th century. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and exquisite piece in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
